Abstract

This country profile shows how Spain plays a leading role in European security research, demonstrated by strong participation, coordination, and above-average success in Horizon Europe security projects. Spanish organisations are particularly active in addressing digital and economic crime, cybercrime, and counterterrorism, with complementary strengths in investigation and forensics, intelligence and data gathering, and operational training. This activity is supported by a diverse ecosystem spanning law enforcement, academia, industry, and research centres, ensuring practical and operationally relevant outcomes. Technologically, Spain shows robust expertise in digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, interoperability, and sensing solutions, aligning closely with European security priorities and emerging operational needs.
